The micro-wave transmitter, on which NBC engineers have been at work for the last two years, now in vades two widely diversified fields— politics and auto racing. The micro-wave, perhaps you do nob remember, is actually a tiny broadcasting station, less than the size of a small cigar box. and can be carried freely about in crowds because there are no trailing wires, eliminat ing accident hazard and loss of pow er- On Easter Sunday the micro-wave transmitter was the hero of the New York fashion parade when George Hicks, JJBC announcer, carried one in his silk hat as he strolled Fifth and Park avenues, discussing the new toggery of Manhattan's elite. The micro-w'.ve’s invasion of the political occurred when it was used for on-the-spot reports of the national Sociall't convention, held in Cleve land, O. An air interview with Nor man Thomas of the Socialist party in his hotel room was one of the fea tured stuats made possible by the micro-wave set. Sports saw the micro-wave for the first time when George Hlc'ts and Bill Shnldler, veteran race pilot, ar ranged to broadcast their sensations while speeding around the new brack in Madison Square Garden s Long Is land City bowl. Instead of being installed in a silk hat, the tiny transmitter, this time, was fitted into the ejrg-shaped crash helmet worn by Shindler. The on-the-spot broadcasts of the micro-wave transmitter are plck’ed up by the nearest NBC station which amplifies them and rebroadcasts over a national network. The micro wave is really a miracle worker in that through it an auto race fan on the Pacific coasb may eavesdrop on a conversation of a race driver and his mechrnic traveling a mile a minute on a track ’’.ooo miles away!
